I went to a gas station that had facial recognition cameras. They cited theft, but also their "legitimate interest", using website cookie language - only there was no easily apparent way to object to their legitimate interest.

What we really need is legislation. The law needs to recognise that businesses cannot just steal data from people for free for their own profits - not to mention exploiting that data against the data subject.

If you build and sell a car, you have to pay for the nuts and bolts. You can't just take them and say "well, you wouldn't know how to build a car, and they only cost a tiny, tiny amount, so we don't need to pay you."

Personal data has value. So much value, the businesses that focus on collecting it are some of the wealthiest in the world. We are all being robbed.

Shhhh don't tell them that!!

Right on queue.

The sad thing is they are personally affected, they're just too damn ignorant to know. Even worse, they cling to their ignorance, which is frankly the worst sin a human being can commit.

Let Lemmy grow. Growth and low effort pun threads is not what killed reddit. Corporate interference and shit stirring controversy spewing algorithms in the name of "user engagement" is what drove reddit down the drain.

u/spez will be gone soon. Remember his name: Steve Huffman.

Also remember that he used to moderate r/jailbait.

His name is Steve Huffman, and he's a former mod of r/jailbait and as such a paedophile.

Duuuuuude they didn't wait long did they? And they attack r/adviceanimals, one of the core subs, even though it isn't one of the defaults anymore.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Huffman brings back r/jailbait. The fucking dirty paedo.
